Blotter: Man reports threatening texts, calls from employee

A lawn
service employer was threatened over the course of a couple days by his
employee, police said. According to reports, the 25-year-old man told police a
male employee in his 30s was threatening him through phone calls and text
messages after he questioned why the employee didn’t finish his job Saturday.

Police
said the suspect threatened to send the Aryan Brotherhood to his residence to
“take care of him.” Reports show the victim and the suspect are in the process
of going to court over a civil dispute. Officer Ryan Grelle, spokesman for the
Denton police, said police are investigating the matter.
